Abstract

An ember and flame resistant resettable automatic soffit vent includes a tray with ventilation openings formed in its floor. A mesh screen resides on the floor of the tray spanning the ventilation openings. A flat slide resides atop the screen and also has ventilation openings that match those of the tray. The slide has an open position wherein its ventilation openings align with those of the tray to allow airflow through the vent and a closed position wherein its ventilation openings are misaligned with the ventilation openings of the tray to close off airflow through the vent. The vent can be manually moved between its open and closed positions and one or more tension springs and a thermal link assembly cooperate to move the slide to its closed position if the vent is exposed to a high temperature cause by a fire very near a home. The vent also can be manually closed by a homeowner when a fire is threatening and then manually reopened when the fire threat passes without destroying the automatic closing feature of the vent.

Abstract

Systems and methods of the present disclosure enable automated roof planning using a processor. The processor receives a digital image of a roof of a structure and models each roof plane of the roof to generate a roof model. The processor determines dimensions of each roof plane based on the roof model. The processor retrieves roofing accessory data from a database, the roofing accessory data solar roofing accessory part identifiers and solar roofing accessory part performance characteristics for solar roofing accessories. The processor simulates multiple candidate roof layouts based on the dimensions of each roof plan and the solar roofing accessory parts and determines a utilization prediction for each candidate layout. Based on each utilization prediction, the processor determines a particular roof layout having selected solar roofing accessory parts, and generates a solar roof design, including a list of materials, for the particular roof layout.

Abstract

A system for providing cryptographically-secured communication is disclosed. The system receives activities from clients including data for inclusion on a distributed ledger of a distributed ledger architecture. The system then processes each activity and determines whether an activity corresponds to an event subscribed to by at least one computing device. The event may correspond to the presence of a communication in an activity received by the system. The system validates the data associated with the activity by utilizing a plurality of validators and without requiring a threshold level of consensus if the activity corresponds to the event. If the activity does not correspond to the event, the system validates using the threshold level of consensus. Once the activity is validated, the system submits the data associated with the activity for inclusion on the distributed ledger so that the communication is made available to the at least one off-chain computing device.
